Please Help

I am having a problem with my recording on Sonar producer X1, if anyone knows what the problem may be please help. What is happening is when I record on Sonar X1 my audio basically quantizes itself automatically I guess is the best way to describe it. For example if I start recording at 0001 and record audio until 0010, when I press stop the program automatically compresses the audio to 0001 to 0005, so the audio(vocals) will be pressed together and not on beat. It is random though, one day it just started to do it. I actually unistalled the program and reinstalled it and at first it was fine but then all of a sudden it was doing it again. I'm not sure if it is a setting or something but if anyone can help please let me know how u think this problem can be fixed because I am basically dead in the water until a solution is found. Thank you for reading

Nope no luck didn't move it much at all thanks though

Ensure your clock is st to external.

It was not doing it in the begging though, and if that is the case how would I go about changing them so that they are consistent with each other.
And I have windows 7

gswitz, right now my clock Is set to audio, but I don't have an external option, just -internal, -SMPTE/MTC, -MIDI Sync, or -Audio

sorry, but your problem may for sure be caused by your audio interface. this one's not made for music production
 
you really should consider buying one that is.
you can get a quite good one for aound US$150 today
 
check out focusrite's scarlet series for example
 
meanwhile; try and download and install ASIO4ALL and see if it workes better after that. you need to activate the ASIO-driver in Sonar after the install

I have my M-Audio interace running though, is this what you mean?

You are a little bit confused.
Your device,if installed,is Maudio,is not Microsoft High Def Audio Device.
Change the Audio windows options and read the Sonar's Audio device install manual.

O ok yea I understand what your saying but no I have the m-audio device running, it is running through sonar and everything.

what drivers are you using?
(preferences -> playback and recording: driver mode)

Improvize
Driver Mode: WDM/KS
DITHERING: Rectangular

Try and change WDM/KS to ASIO and see if that helps
